I'm trying to improve my skills by copying the style and design of real-world maps. The map below is based on the style of some of my favorites, modern U.S. National Park maps. Practicing is useless without feedback, so I am looking for some thorough critiques. If you were visiting this area, and someone handed a brochure, would you be happy if this map were part of it?

For this map, I was specifically looking at general layout, design elements, and labeling. Any feedback is appreciated.
